Different cultures have different table manners but the widely recognised and practised table manners is european or continental orientated.the girl in question was right to hold the cutleries the other way round if her excuse was that she was a leftie.As long as she was not seated nearer or closer and her prominent RH was not interfering in a clumsy manner or bumping on someone elses LH,she is fine.i believe she was sat opposite synthesis so why all the fuss,she said she was leftie and yes she can use her fork and knife the other way round.You can actually ask the restuarant to set the table for a leftie,pls make find out for yourself,here in london it is done,if you can ask them to set the table to suit your natural inclination.most families will tarin their kids on normal etiquettes but back home they are encouraged to use their prominent hands.

thanks for rendering ur informed opinion- i grew up wit the notion that the right hand holds the knife and the left holds the fork- a couple of lefties have attested to this on this thread as well. The problem wit this notion is with a casual observer- no one looking at a diner from a distance is going to ask why the diner is eating with the utentils inappropriately i.e reverse handling,the assumption wud be the diner doesnt have an inkling on how to properly handle his/her cutlery rather than the person being a leftie.

adebayo201:
you are getting it wrong! check my posts and see for yourself what i wrote about what the topic. You really piss me off when i saw kids like ,

[quote author=tpia@ link=topic=878126.msg10267176#msg10267176 date=1330109867]^^i'm sure you're the type who sweats heavily and grunts while eating eba.

anyone talking to you at that time, you fit deal am dirty slap for disturbing your meal.

where is this "restaurant" you say you went to sef.

was it kfc in oshodi because you might not even know you're not supposed to eat chicken with fork and knife.

who wouldnt get confused when you see your date insisting you must use cutlery when eating fried chicken. Poor girl.[/quote]yeske!
and u r the type that forms "Behind" eating eba with spoon and fork

erico2k2:
Bross if I begin count the ammount of food we eat with our hands here in England you sef go tire
Nothing spoil if the guy decide to eat Rice n stew with clean Hands

u missed d point totally, i'm not saying u must always obey etiquette, but if u want to it must be done correctly

ItsModella:
Yes, it is applicable to left handed people. I am left-handed and I had to learn that.
thanx, ur opinion is well noted

Live life, live free

Fcukit conforming is a biatch

tanimola22:
Wow, that's great! It is either you are a genius or you had plenty of noncompetitive students in your class. I am inclined to choose the former. In that regard, your type are very few. Keep it up.

[quote author=tpia@ link=topic=878126.msg10267103#msg10267103 date=1330109162]and what exactly is wrong with eating rice and stew with your hands depending on the context?

like you never did it before?


ebi o o ti pa e!!![/quote]yaba left calling
u r allowed to go wild in private, but oudoors u ought to behave

SNCOQ3:
I am proud to be a 'lefty' if i have to use only a spoon, i eat with my left hand even in public. I get the judgmental stare but i don't care.

imagine attending a state dinner with that mindset

i came 1st in yr1- yr 5 of uni

fred2265:
Ignore "etiquette" and the people who stared, she should do what's comfortable for her. Left handed are not "evil" or strange.

i'm not sayin its evil or strange o- jst wantd clarification if its ok for lefties to do so, twas m 1st tyme to dinner wit a leftie

tEsLim:
I bet he has never traveled out of Nigeria or lived with any eyinbo to really know how they are in real life. Tell an eyinbo girlfriend

u r ryt- na only oyinbo i sabi, i neva c eyinbo b4, do d eyinbo hav big nyansh, cook and cleans

juleze:
I'm amused by NLanders. Are Nigerians this insultive?
I believe we can pass across our message without being insultive.

tank u my Lady , lots of uncultured folks with access to d net
btw, if u read my post i was jst askin for a lil education- thats all . in regards to ur question, yes i would, if she wasnt forming.

all4naija:
@OP

That should be reserved for the oldies. This etiquette thing is only to be observed in a strict cultural environment

thanks Bruv- but dats d problem with the world today, dis young dudes feel trads are for d oldies forgetting that it shows class, opening doors for a chic b4 u enta wud be frowned at by kids( adebayo201,antartica, md4real, and co ) of dis days

[quote author=tpia@ link=topic=878126.msg10266534#msg10266534 date=1330104080]Like knowledge of table etiquette comes automatically based on which hand you normally use?

He sounds very bush i must say.[/quote]metinks u ar d ediot in dis case- wat schools did u attend- bush-it
if u must knw d college i attended back den- u arnt allowed to enter d dining hall without ur proper cutlery set, talkless of using the sets improperly

md4real:
what the bleep? i am left handed to the core and proud. whats the big deal in one's usage of a fork and knife? wetin be the use of the knife self?

eyah!! ignorance isnt bliss- truss me

jonced:
U obviously are not the gentleman u claim to be. No real gentleman would attempt 2 embarass a lady by talking about her table manners right there at the table in a public place. Whether she was right or wrong is a seperate issue. But a real gentleman would have waited for a more auspicious time to broach the subject.

dis dude u b winsh
too much CSI in ya system

^^^actually they are in a bush, so they a re bushmen - and u knw wat they say "when in rome act like d romans"

hajifaty:
Lets be honest here. The poster himself is lacking both moral and table manners. You don't violate other pples right while trying to protect yours. too much self esteem. sad but its true.

one word bruv- EDUCATION!!!!
its not abt me, if u aint willing to learn - u wud make an ass outta urself.

antartica:
Etiquette my black behind. Are u oyinbo abi wanna be uppity darkie? Even every day oyinbos eats with their unwashed hands after using d loo. Dont be decieved by what they conditioned u to believe are right.

as i said lots of myopic folks hanging around
wtf does etiquette hav to do with ur skin color
"u can take the man outta d bush, but u cant take d bush outta d man"

btlasisi:
@Op,

It breaks my heart to read our Young Africans proudly copying other people's culture and even drag others to follow suit.

My dear you need to know whom you are because an English man will respect you for whom you are and never force you to adopt his table manner. [b]Ask your parents for your tribal table manners and you will be real man for live.[/b]

if u see me eating rice and stew with my hands wudnt u refer me to d nearest mental institute

mxxpunkxx:
Hey Mr I.T.K., since when did it become a right?
Obvious stup!dity in it's highest pedigee

my bad ,



its a left

tEsLim:
snthesis now you denying your favorite join Mr. Biggs oh ok its KFC . :p Name on restaurant in Lagos if you actually took her to a restaurant.

guy- the post states fancy restuarant- y u dey mention fastfood joints nau


[quote author=Missy_B link=topic=878126.msg10264907#msg10264907 date=1330090818]Lol! If I use only my fork, I won't get as much stares as the lady holding her fork in the right hand and knife in the left.  [/quote]so do u agree that it was wrong even though she claims she's lefthanded

Jay5000:
You should have simply corrected her instead of expressing your disgust, if such things are very important to you. From the way u sound i'm sure u got some sick sense of satisfaction embarrasing your date  didn't you? SMH, another one of the many idiotic Nigerians who live to create impressions. Why don't you bleach your skin so you can be completely white? Still can't understand why so many West Africans suffer from self hate and identity crisis. Disgusting scum!

dude- a transformer is missing ur wet hug

God knows each individual's heart, u cant fool him

mkmyers45:
Why not take her to Iya Basira instead of letting her fall your hand

wow!! u must b really smart- i sized her up wrongly, d girl jst fyne for face and nyansh, so naturally i wan compliment her "finess" with a fancy restaurant not knowing dat she ws d Iya Basira type

aribisala0:
Anyway  holding the knife in the left hand is unusual

thank you o jare my bro- atleast ur primary sch cert was not a waste

aribisala0:
I don't know what you mean "bushness" as there is quite a lot more to (English) table manners which we mimic than  virtually all Nigerians care to learn.

e.g standing up when ladies leave the table are Naija men BUSH for not doing that?

mara of fact- i'm quite a gentlemen

tEsLim:
And worst case scenario he must have taken the beautiful girl on a date to Mr. Biggs instead of a real restaurant.

exsquize me- wetin be Mr. Biggs- is it related to u
